We can't find out anything through reading TIME. The Babbitt Weekly, too trashy and superficial.

Both
Sirs:
. . . "They were both married to the same man, one Peter Trapani, bigamist" (TIME, April 11). Why both?
Other examples (in illustration) :
Senator John Sherman and Gen. W. T. Sherman were both brothers.
We both got home the same day.
Both birds were hit by the same stone.

Dr. Angell's Statement
Sirs: TIME, May 9 gives, doubtless unintentionally, quite a wrong impression of a recent statement of mine before the American Philosophical Society. Perhaps you would wish to correct it. What I really said was this: "In the face of great apparent prosperity, higher education in this country ... is gravely menaced by the difficulty—approaching impossibility—of recruiting an adequate amount of first rate intellectual ability to carry forward this great enterprise." I am sure you will agree that you attribute a very different statement to me. JAMES R. ANGELL
Yale University New Haven, Conn.
TIME quoted Dr. Angell indirectly as follows: Menace, Higher education is now gravely menaced because it is almost impossible to recruit men of first-rate intellectual ability for college faculties.—Dr. James Rowland Angell, President of Yale University.—ED. Dr. Gehring's Sanitorium
Sirs:
About a week or two ago, under the heading of MEDICINE an article appeared in your magazine about Dr. J. G. Gehring and his Sanitorium at Bethel, Me.
The story particularly attracted me as I had been looking for just the sort of place that Dr. Gehring had. I have checked into the matter and find now that Dr. Gehring had retired from active practice about five years ago and I am wondering if the place he started is continued on the same plan by someone else or if it has been discontinued. Would it be possible for you to secure this information and pass it on to me?

The sanitorium still exists at Bethel, Me. Dr. Gehring has for some years been retired from practice.—ED.
